Telebass

Welcome home!

Well, it's arrived, and it's a great little amp. Nearly as heavy as my Markbass CMD121H though!

At my age, looking daft is par for the course!

Agreed. I tried one of these, and it was good, but far too heavy for me...

AND an extra Markbass head...

Oh, what the hell. Maybe I'll order the bass AND a Barefaced Super 15...

I've bottled out. I'll go for a new rig instead, maybe a LM III and a Barefaced Super 15!

After Christmas, I'm going to go for a Super Fifteen. It's the same size as the Big Twin T, although a few pounds lighter. I've always had a [i]need[/i] for a 2x15, but my back and wallet could never cope. Until now!

I may well replace the speaker with something really beefy, eg a B&C 10HPL64, just so I can use it at small gigs with zero fart-out risk, so long as I don't drive it too hard, of course.

Steal.

Good luck!

Welcome, Camille! I once had a nice Fretless Precision, back in the days when all Fenders were American !

...not so different that I'll throw it away after a few weeks! I'm due to collect my Air Force pension lump sum after Christmas, so I thought I'd look at the possibility of the one bass I've wanted, but could not afford - a custom Status. Now, I had my hands on a Washburn-licenced S2 clone once upon a time, and the sound was garbage, but then I dislike active basses with a passion. The playability and ergonomics, however, were a revelation! So, I've asked that nice Mr Rob Green if he'll will make me a black headless bolt-on S2 with passive P-J pickups and VVT controls. The man from Status Graphite, he say YEEEEESSSS! So, as long as I don't bottle out over the next few weeks, I'm going to go for it! Bit of a change from Precisions, no?

Howdy! Two of my basses have come from GAK. One is still my main player, despite its neck dying a month or two ago! That's the beauty of Fenders - add new neck, et voila! Was sorry to lose the original neck, though, it was really,[i] really[/i] nice

Welcome!

Excellent! Strangely enough, I just ordered some D'Addario acoustic string for the setup jobs, and the three-set pack had a free basic Planet Waves winder in it - and that can also, just, handle elephant ears. Bonus!

I'm having Firefox report BC as an attack site...

Greetings one and all! I've had one of these for ages. because they detach from the handle to fit an electric drill/screwdriver, they are easily the best winder. They are also the only winder I've found that really does fit a Fender bass machine head. However, they are singularly hard to get here in the UK. All the Dunlop distributors have them as 'discontiued'. Over the pond, the story is slightly different. If you buy bits from Stew-Mac, they have both colours (black and glow-in-the-dark). I have a blck one, so I ordered a glowing one! Plainly, unless you simply MUST have a glowing string winder, it works out a bit pricy with the postage, but if you order a few bits and bobs that HMRC are not going to get excited about along with it, it's not too bad. Stew-Mac are also the only place I've been able to get hold of proper Fender type string retainers. Happy winding!

Has anyone plugged one into a decent efficient bass cab yet? Can the dirt be tamed enough as-is?

I'm looking at getting one of these and modifying the fron end for a bit less dirt, then running it through a very efficient bass cab, say a BArefaced super 12. Reckon that would do a quiet gig with no drummer, or good studio setup.

Nice thread, have just watched some of the RBL Festival from last nigh. Bomber Command fully recognised at last, which made me feel better, if that's a way tio put it.
